lol you foreigners need to change, we won't be the ones gonna be adjusting to you
I totally agree!! 💯
If they don't like the Philippines the way it is ....STAY HOME! we don't need you here (and I'm a Foreigner).... lol
Your country would progress if you adopted traits of more advanced societies, including your Asian neighbors.
@@AgathaLOutahere lol wow, colonial much?. Don't come around here acting like gods or godesses telling us what to do. That's what you foreigners do, you always think of us as an inferior being specially if your coming to a third-world country like ours. And your lucky my countrymen let you do that to them. Always, remember its not your land its ours. So you need to adjust to our culture not the other way around
@@AgathaLOutahereHave you been in the Philippines long enough to learn and study its history? If not, then let me school you about its history and how it was once an advanced country next to Japan...First of all it had the fiercest and toughest warriors, Katipunans, and guerillas who killed the Spanish, Japanese, and even Americans. Then it had the toughest Army in Asia, which was the Philippine Scouts, who fought in WWI & WWII and was a military organization formed by the U.S. Army under the USAFFE (U.S. Army Forces Far East) Command in 1901 until the end of WWII in 1945 and was officially disbanded in 1949. Their training was impeccable and so intense which was a combination of the U.S.'s Navy Seal, Green Beret, Rangers, and Special Forces. I know this because my paternal grandpa was a Philippine Scout who served in WWI & WWII and his first son, my uncle, who served in WWII, and Korean & Vietnam Wars. (I and my cousins followed the footsteps of our grandpas, my dad, and other uncles in joining the Philippine or U.S. military. I'm the second female and officer to join the military from my paternal family.) After WWII, Philippines became one of the most advanced and progressive Asian countries next to Japan in economy and technology. It had the first advanced commercial airline which is the Philippine Airlines among the Asian countries. In fact, it was the first Asian country to run and have a commercial airline. It used to be the biggest exporter of rice. The Philippines taught other Asian countries agriculture, especially planting and exporting rice in their countries. It had inventors of famous technologies, from robotics to karaoke to space vehicles, etc. Unfortunately, it had bad and/or greedy politicians who let other foreign countries exploit its wealth, land, and natural resources, and pocketed lots of money instead of giving them to the country and Filipino people to improve their land and ways and means of living. That's also why the Philippines became the most English-speaking Asian country because English is its second language next to the first language which is Filipino. Spanish used to be the second language at one point due to its approximately 300 years of ruling the Philippines. I also have Spanish bloodline from both of my parents. My paternal grandpa, the Philippine Scouts, and his 4 siblings were pure Spaniards but were either raised or born in the Philippines. Their parents came from Madrid, Spain. My grandma, my grandpa's wife, was half-Spaniard and half-Filipino (from Malayan ancestry). My maternal grandparents were from Spanish, Chinese, and Malayan ancestries. The Philippines even helped Koreans and Vietnamese during and even after their wars to get them out of poverty and on their feet by training them to become skilled workers and taught them English. If you know why the Vietnamese produced the most beauty parlors, especially in the U.S., it was because they were trained by the Filipinos while the Vietnamese sought asylum and migrated to the Philippines with the help of U.S. The Philippines became the exporters of healthcare providers, especially nurses, because the U.S. military medics trained them in the health field during WWII, especially when American nurses and doctors became scarce from either being captured or killed by the Japanese. Many Filipinos volunteered to learn to be healthcare providers in WWII and helped the U.S. take care of the wounded. Anyway, all Asian countries, except Japan, followed the Philippines' lead and footsteps by getting off their feet and becoming more advance and progressive, even more than the Philippines.
Lived in Thailand in 3 years . Never liked it . Decided to move to Philippines . Living here so happy . Been here on my 4th year . Guy here from Finland ❤❤❤
Wow thank you so much for letting us know! 🥰❤️ Please plan an interview if possible 🥰😍🙏🏿
@@calvincastiel5663 Sure will....Soon ☝️
You as travelers, can tell what is the best countries to visit.
would be interesting to know the reason@@calvincastiel5663
In Phil. a versatile country you can choose any life style of living it depend of your financial capacity
Soon Calvin will reconize by Philippines Government help promoting the philippines!! More power ang supporters!!
I've been coming to the Philippines since 1986. I tried to retire here in 2000, but returned to the States in 2008 to take care of my elderly parents. I returned in 2015 when they offered the permanent residency through Philippines Retirement Authority. I live in Baguio where the temps are around 70F.
Oh great for sharing your experience with us 🥰🙏🏿😊
Baguio is beautiful 😍❤️
I live in Australia with my family but visit Baguio yearly for holidays.( have a holiday house in Baguio)cool in Baguio and surroundings.
As a Filipino,..Am not offended when foreigners say Philippine Living is Cheap & Affordable coz it is the Truth!!.. and its MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😊
Ph has an insanely high cost of living to income ratio
dude ph aint really expensive unless u decided to live in BGC lmao
@@7519moe local markets food prices in manila are similar to korea which has a much higher income
@@eagwrevbrew43 If you choose BGC. But some foreigners who are earning more, prefer BGC. But if you like a province life, you'll spend less.
If all filipinos can earn foreign wage then many would have stayed. I cant wait to go home. 317 days of this aweful ofw life left.
Wrong mindset if it was happened their were no farmers anymore who plant for our food no laborer anymore.
@@reaganramirez-vc8rw 100% wrong, better economy better food supplies and production. Study more bro
What exactly is foreign wage? Wage differs in evey country. What filipinos need is a higher standard of living and a livable wage that can support their basic needs.
@@Moss_piglets that's what he meant bro. Wages here are fucking shit lmao
@@Moss_piglets foreign wages is a bit vague. Developed country wages is what is implied. An example of what an average US retirement pension with social security benefits could be, $4000 USD per month. A working wage would be much more. In comparison, a Filipino pilot for PAL brings home around $2500 USD per month.
What! Be nice to the people coming in Philippines. I’m a pilipino too . the lord want us to be grateful for every blessing we getting from them.

Awesome content. You've interviewed a bunch of foreigners there from different countries. Nice! 🥰♥️🇵🇭
Thank you so much 😊
Calvin, let me know if you visit Baguio again next year, I'd love to see you and bring you to tourist spots nearby town. Merry Christmas. Great interview again that I like to see in your channel.
Yeah for sure! Thank you so much. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Thanks for sharing.
I'm on my last step, selling my home soon and leaving California.
I ran into your channel, and it helped persuade me.
I think I should Vlog the whole thing 🤔 if you insist ill let you interview me 1st. 😂
Yeah sure! Just let me know once you’re here 🥰😍
@calvincastiel5663 enough said Calvin. Let me get the ball rolling.

Thank you so much 😊
Amost 100k subs man! Congratulations in advance!🙏🏼👏🏆🎊
Thank you so much 😊
Amazing interview calvin
Thank you so much ❤
just subbed, thanks for promoting the bright side of staying in our country🇵🇭
Thanks for sharing , I’m Filipino but we never visit Philippines , hoping one day we can visit Philippines and experience the culture and people and the food , stay safe and God bless!😊
Please visit! You gonna love it 😍
Check out Mexico. If you like it there you’ll love the Philippines 👍🏻
Hahahaha patawa
I have been to visit with my mom twice to visit relatives. If you visit relatives, prepare gifts and bring lots of cash since they expect you to pay for everything...yeah, even if you don't know them.
@@penguinsforever1609 hahhaaahhahahaha
For those Russian couple travelling in the Philippines for that long and not trying Filipino food is just insane to me. That’s one of the best parts about travelling; sampling local cuisines and traditions. Food is such a huge part of every culture. So to not try it because of what you heard from other people is just quite a silly and naive perspective. It’s like going to Russia for a year and never eating Russian food because some people say it sucks. That’s a terrible mentality and not an explorer’s or adventurer’s mindset at all. Go try it and find out for yourself and make your own conclusions!
They will definitely try some food for sure 🥰🙏🏿
My hunch is that their fililino co-workers introduce them to filipino food that are featured in fear factor for the kicks. I dont like those kind of filipino people. They think theyre really cool introducing foreigners to filipino food thats isnt even traditionally eaten in majority of the households.
What a nice suggestion 😂
Give them Baluts.
Hahaha! Thank you brother for your channel! More power to your channel! Stay safe and healthy! 🙏😊✝️❤️
Thank you so much 😊
Im proud of you my friend thank you for loving our country. ALWAYS WELCOME
😍😍
Thank you so much 😊
Calvin.. you' re good,
We appreciated
Real talk from the
Foreigners coming here.
To our beloved country.
Thank you so much 😊
That is the line of questioning i like to hear im sick and tired of the question on every interview about the culture shock
Me too.
Thank you so much 🥰 I appreciate for the feedback 😍🥰
I always watch your vlogs and the funny thing is i just subscribed you he!he!
Thanks for subbing! 🥰😍😇
.New subscriber here in Canada but originally from Benguet Philippines. I wanted you to reach 100 subscribers and love your interviews so keep it up and keep speaking in Tagalog you will be like Jared Hartmann.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for promoting philippines.Its a big help to philippines tourism industry
Thank you so much 😊
We should have better salary here so no one will work abroad and miss their own motherland. 😢❤ Happy New Year everyone! Enjoy your stay in the Philippines.
I totally agree with you! Because most of our countrymen feels like they're totally underpaid regardless of how much work load they make here. And most of our retirees doesn't feel the contentment they have hoped for. So I hope our government would do something about this. 😢
Thanks again Calvin.
God Bless!
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for your reaction videos and to promoting our country.. 😊
I noticed that most of the foreigners who have stayed here for over a year has not learned full Tagalog is because most Filipinos can speak English, thus, they don't really feel the need to learn Tagalog. Only those who really like to learn because probably they are studying here would learn how to communicate using the language without relying in English language.
Additionally everything here is all written in English. Look everywhere all signage is in English.
I like the last interview hahaha habibi for middle eastern and mekus mekus for indian haha. Thanks man nice content! ❤
Thank you so much 😊
100k coming soon...good luck brother
Keep on coming dear friends, it's More fun in the Philippines

Thank you so much 😊
Nice !
Thank you so much 😊
Great Topic Big Dude 🙏🏼👏🏆🎊
Thank you so much 😊
Cheap is subjective. Yes food and lodging can be ‘cheap’ but the portion isn’t comparable to a meal say in the US. Cost of living depends on how much you make and where you choose to live. Living in BGC isn’t cheap at all.
🥰🥰🎁
Great interview Calvin.
Thank you so much for the feedback! What did you like the most?

BGC, the 15-minute city inside a city. Go to Eastwood and Makati as well.

Since 70s 80s Iranian student has been studying in the Philippines, that's Iran the Philippines have strong deplomatic ties since both Iran community Christian an mulems too.
I like your content sir that's why I always watch your vedio🙂 thank you for promoting my country Philippines 🙂🥰
Thank you so much 😊
@@calvincastiel5663 your welcome🙂
current or wage is cheaper,but the hospitable, people and friendly is more than expensive❤🎉 welcomw to the Philippines' 🎉🎉🎉❤
Dumaguete is Sooo Cool!!
Gonna be there soon 🥰❤️
Not all Pilipino are good but mostly are good.. Not all cheaper but mostly..
WE all have different reason for coming to the filippines . Most I am sure are the girls and in some cases the handsome yung fellas . I have my own story but is too complex .I have been here 12 years .
Let’s do a podcast hehe
How we do that Calvin , I'm kinda computer stupid .@@calvincastiel5663
new sub here bro i love your content it warm my heart how forigner apreciet our culture thanks bro...
Thank you so much brother 🥰
yup your right Siargao is the best island to relax, it's an island paradise, nothing beats Siargao especially when it comes to island hopping, it's more fun in Siargao😊
🥰🥰🥰
Amazing u can talk wikang pilipino,is not Tagalog but wikang pilipino..is the correct!!words
POV…Been To Siargiao& Siquijor.. Both Are Amazing But Siquijor For Me Is More Amazing🌴
Oh great! I need to check Siquijor 🥰😍
You should have visited Camiguin as well. They are the 3 popular small islands to visit. There are actually more things to see in Camiguin than in Siquijor and Siargao. Though Siargao has the most diverse food option among the 3. Siquijor is the most pristine among the 3.
@@wavemaker2077 I will go there for sure
that is for sure, when you ride a taxi.. go with the meter and you'll be fine.. if the driver refuses to use the meter GET OFF that's a hint, you'll get ripped off
1:05 She says, "so much to be offered in the Philippines." Meaning: there is so much to be offered in the Philippines.
You should visit100 Islands as well.
Yeah sure ❤️🥰
Why the Philippines ?
'FREEDOM'
That's exactly right, they HAVE more freedom in the Philippines than in most of the advanced countries in the world.
HE SAID IT RIGHT --- FILIPINOS SHOULD BE PROUD OF "FREEDOM"
You are right freedom!
With the high cost of living in the west atm,crime and homelessness because the rent is crazy expensive a lot of foreigners are eyeing to live in the SE Asia like Thailand,Philippines,Vietnam.
The last two are my favorites. From Egypt and Iran..They both look hot and handsome💛💜
🤣🤣
I ❤ it
That's correct..go with meters.. sometimes, those taxi driver are taking advantage..even their co filipinos, they also took advantage...so bad!!!
WELCOME TO THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 ITS MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 WORLD UNIVERSE 🌎 WELCOME TO OUR COUNTRY 😊😊😊❤
🥰🥰
OH YES. AM FROM DUMAGUETE.
I will be there soon 🥰❤️
The 4th guy is a Filipino.. I can tell from the accent.
4:42 you really miss the hidden gem islands Please visit Caramoan Islands and Calaguas Islands in Bicol region. Not to much tourist like Siargao and Palawan
🥰
And, if you already know how much is the fare for all these public transportation, do not even ask the driver anymore how much you have to pay. Or else you are just opening a chance of getting scammed or big argument. Just pay the fare straight up without asking how much. Have some small bills/coins always ready and handy.
❤Habibibti come to visit Philippines more funs and enjoying the places❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
🥰🥰🥰
I wish i had soo many subscribers like you!!! Im vlogging in manila as well but i dont got that much views
You will get it brother! Don’t compare yourself to no one! That’s a big mistake as a content creator. Keep doing you brother! We got a long way to go. 🥰😊😎
Just keep making content about Filipinos and you will be amaze!
@@marinadoblicara4521 ok
Learn to speak bisaya too, Calvin! hehe..😁
Please teach me John 🥰
@@calvincastiel5663Kuya Gordo, say, "Buang ka" ang reach out with your hand. Means pleasure to meet you.
Just kidding Kuya Calvin. Don't say it. It means "You're crazy" or gago I think. Lol
Slow internet, utilities like water and electricity keeps shutting off, traffic and corrupt govt. needs to change in the Philippines.
❤❤❤
The U.S. has a great influence on the Philippines and the Filipinos, and American English is the preferred form of English used in the Philippines. unlike Malaysia and Singapore where British English is preferred.
He is very smart ..taxi usemetering is very good decision . Do not negotiate to the taxi Driver ask use Meter
I finally hear you speak Portuguese .. 😃
